S205 Timing Chain replacement - When?

[chalkie888]

Hi all, just wondering when the timing chain should be changed on a 2015 C220d. Just clicked over 100,000 miles and have heard this is about the time.

Change when it gets noisy. There's no scheduled time.

What’s sound like when you first start the car in a morning, if it doesn’t rattle for a couple of seconds all is well?

Thanks Malcolm, no rattles, all is normal. Just wondering if preventative is better than cure

Best long term care is changing the oil <8k miles for TC long life and turning the dreaded Start/Stop off IMO

C220d

+1 and also change the chain tensioner every 100k miles as a precaution.

Thanks. Any ideas of the costs associated with the chain tensioner?

AS per lk. If it gets hammered, change early if not later, but at any rate, first time u hear it make a plan. Premature oil changes will always save u money. Unless ur on a throw it back lease. I got 20 Yr out of my clk320. Never went more 3000 miles before oil change, sometimes 500 mile. One spanner required.

€95 for the part and €50 for labour (in Greece).
